''The first thing to settle is whether
the country will next year give the
Democratic party vote of confidence
and possession of all departments of
the Government. How far the vari-
GUS forms Of third partyism may help
or hinder that result is the interesting
question of the day. .''-Comnaercial
Gazette
Yes, that's the question. And such
a consummation is precisely what the
bully of the Commercial Gazette has
been aiming at for long time. The
aim has been to give the State of Ohio
into the hands of the Democratic par
ty, in the interest of the doggery busi-
ness and the manufacture Of beer and
whisky. Success was pretty general,
even in Cincinnati the Mayor only
pulling through by about six hundred.
At every point where the Halstead

The trial of the alleged murderers
of the Rev. Haddock has been drag
ging along for several days at Sioux
City, Iowa. The Rev. Haddock was
slain by the doggery interest because
he was an advocate Of temperance. 1t
is quite possible that every means pos
sible will be employed, and all man
ner Of legal gyrations and contortions
engaged in, to save the necks Of the
brutal dogs who murdered this good
man. When the guilty ones are dis
covered, their stay on earth should be
very brief.

This is somewhat in the nature of
surprise to US. We were so often and
so earnestly assured that prohibiting
the internal traffic only increased it,
that we almost trembled at the
thought of any State attempting the
thing. Yet here is correspondent,
right on the field, who has the un-
blushing impotence to assert that
Kansas is practically getting away
with the Devil in the great contest.

Mr.. Jefferson Davis, of Mississippi,
the last Democratic President before
Cleveland, is consumed at this late
day with admiration of the greatness
of Gen. A. Sidney Johnston. 1t is a
noticeable fact that all the greatness
which Jeff saw in the Confederacy is
centered IN persons and things that
have passed from the public mind. He
looks beyond the grave for the great
ness Of the Confederacy. JEFF is a
dleamer-but he ought to be CRATE
full one.

Oak Hill Prohibition.

just 40 days since "Local Option" went
into force here. We now know some
thing about it. 1t is the right step in the
right direction, but only step. We
have much ground yet to possess. The
doggeries are still here. The fellows
that own and keep doggeries are still
here and liquor in abundance. More
drunk men on Saturday and Sunday than
ever was known. A man that will tell a
little fib and pay for a prescription can
get all the whisky he wants and so can a
man that will swear lie in open court, or
go to Jail before he will expose liquor
monger. AS many as twelve jugs have
been known to come here on Saturday,
End inst. Some from Portsmouth and
some from Lawrence Co.
Local option then in radius of mile
square has accomplished but little.
Had it the aid of Townships, as pro-
posed at one time in Legislature it would
be grand thing and the law vigorously
handled by fearless officials would meet
the object sought. The doggeries are
still here assuming the name of Cider &
Billiard-rooms and the only change we
can see, the beer has been substituted by
what they call "Crab cider" and the whis-
ky assumes the shape of Orange Wine"
The Cider really is nothing but muddy
water from Ohio River and a little acid
The orange wine few drugs in sweet
ened water. Since the "wets have won
in Jackson, Coalton and Wellston the
doggeries here have become very savage
and feel very sore over their lost cause
They chew and backbite the friends of
temperance in most vicious manner
They must not yelp, whine, bark and
howl too loud, they must bear in mind
that up to the 1st March last they openly
violated the law every day and can for
some time to come be severely prosecuted
therefor.
If you want to save your old scalps go
slow.
You need not think because you have
been made to stop your nefarious
''pisness" by an ordinance that you are
washed or redeemed or can evade being
punished for your past iniquities. No
thanks to you for stopping when you
were made to.
